Hi Bios Modder,
I'm struggling flashing my Bios (45CN38WW) to no white list with the one from Camiloml.
It starts but will end-up in blue screen and PC restarts unchanged.
When doing it manually I get message that new and old version is identically and update stops.
Can you help to get Wifi 7260 running.
Thanks

When doing it manually I get message that new and old version is identically and update stops.

/sa key allows to skip all checks, including BIOS version check.
Use "WinFlash.exe /sa /bios /file BIOS.fd" in the folder with Camiloml's mod.

Yes I tried this, but then I end up in the first variant: blue screen and restart of PC unchanged.

The flash driver does not seem to support current Windows. You might try installing the BIOS from Win 7 portable.

Hi again,
okay tried Win7 but does not work either.
Tried also DOS, but will not accept the Bios from Camiloml.
Do you have another solution?
Thanks a lot.

That's odd.
Here's the same solution as for Z575 model: IdeaPad_Z570_45CN38WW.zip. Check Shell folder in the archive.

Hi Maxinator,
thanks for your help, but this Laptop will not accept any BIOS update. I also do not get it crashed..... :-)
I used the option in Shell folder, final feedback after restart is: "PFlash: Read file error - BIOS.WHP"

A posting about this error.

Open the STARTUP file on your flash drive with a text editor, replace fs0: with fs1: and save the file. Then try to boot from the flash drive again.
